Shannon Vs. the Revision Draft: Part 1

* While it consists of a mere 8 letters, there are approximately 486 different ways to misspell Inousses.

* When a building has been 80% destroyed by an explosion, it’s generally not necessary for one character to stop and close the front door when they leave.

* Charlotte is the unseen-until-now administrative powerhouse behind the Devlin Group, always running herd on the agents. What’s a common nickname for Charlotte? :doh: Too late now, and damn the subconscious mind, anyway.

* Even Batman can’t fly from LaGuardia to Athens in five hours.

* Tousled, not touseled. Tousled, tousled, tousled. Why did I check for this? Because Angie keeps having to correct it. What does that mean? That none of the characters in any of my books seem to own a :censor: comb.

    No. Not necessary, but it might say something about that character’s state of mind at the time.

    But maybe the Concorde Superman might be able to….

    Oh thank you for this because now I don’t feel so alone.

    I spent the better part of 3 hours today realizing a complete and utter :censor:-up in geography and logistics in BTBW. Never plan a route where the hero and heroine spend the better part of the book heading south on a motorcycle, crossing 3 or 4 states, then decide the good guys are going to head way back up north on their Harleys to the point of origin to fight the bad guys the next day. Um yeah…not gonna happen. :wtf:

    *slaps self upside the head*

    Massive reorganizing of plot ahead. :grouch:

    Oh man, don’t remind me of the maps for Dangerous Lies… Having to coreograph the movements of the Hero, Heroine and Villain in the Algerian Sahara. I still wake up sobbing sometimes, remembering… :wink:

    ROFL at the door. :cheesy:

    That’s nothing. My characters have been known to change names ENTIRELY in my WIPs without me ever noticing until someone else reads it and asks me, “Hey, who’s this new person?” :rofl:

    See? I need an editor, too. Group, not Grop.
